Rechargeable battery, electrode assembly and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A rechargeable battery, an electrode assembly, and an electrode assembly manufacturing method are disclosed. The electrode assembly includes: a separator configured to include a first insertion portion formed in a first direction and a second insertion portion formed in a second direction, which are alternatively stacked; a first electrode inserted into the first insertion portion; a second electrode inserted into the second insertion portion while the separator is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; a sealing portion configured to bond opposite surfaces of the separator into which the first electrode and the second electrode are inserted with the separator interposed therebetween; and a lead tab configured to include a first current collecting tab connected to the first electrode and a second current collecting tab connected to the second electrode.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
